Bath re-enamelling in Wookey Hole, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Wookey Hole questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you cover Wookey Hole?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wookey Hole from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlord and trade work in Wookey Hole
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For a price in Wookey Hole, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
