Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pilton

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pilton and across Somerset.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Common questions in Pilton

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Pilton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pilton and the rest of Somerset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What we are called out for in Pilton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Pilton?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
