DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work

West Compton questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in West Compton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
