Bath re-enamelling for Pitcot homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pitcot

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pitcot and across Somerset.

What we are called out for in Pitcot

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Pitcot

Do you work in Pitcot?

We do. We send a technician to Pitcot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
