Bath re-enamelling in Puddle Town, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Puddle Town and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Puddle Town

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Puddle Town?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Puddle Town and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What we’re called out for in Puddle Town

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
