Bath re-enamelling at your home in Milverton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Milverton
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Milverton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Milverton
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Milverton?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
