About Ely’s Bath Builder
Trusted Local Building and Home Improvement Specialists in Bath
I’m Sam, the owner of Ely’s Bath Builder, a local Bath builder providing high-quality home improvement services in Bath for over 17 years. Based in Bath, I work directly with homeowners across the area, delivering reliable, personal, and consistently high standards of workmanship across plastering, carpentry, tiling, and painting and decorating.
From the first conversation through to completion, every project is handled by the people doing the work. That hands-on approach allows me to offer a level of care, accountability, and communication that many larger firms simply cannot match.
Our Story
Built on Experience, Quality, and Personal Service
After leaving school, I studied construction at Bath College, where I gained a solid grounding across multiple trades. I later specialised in plastering in Bath, completing an apprenticeship with a local plastering and damp-proofing company before moving on to work with a Bath-based building firm.
That role exposed me to a wide range of domestic building services in Bath, including property maintenance, wet rooms, and loft conversions, while also strengthening my understanding of building regulations and quality standards.
After years of experience, I reached a point where I wanted full responsibility for my own work. I wanted to deal directly with homeowners, manage projects properly, and deliver the kind of finish I would expect in my own home. That decision led to the creation of Ely’s Bath Builder.
Over the last 17 years, I’ve completed thousands of projects across Bath and the surrounding areas, building long-term relationships with clients and a reputation for reliable, high-quality work. Many of today’s enquiries come through recommendations, often from neighbours just a few doors away.

Small renovations and coordinated improvement projects
I manage and carry out the building and practical work myself, while my sister Lizy runs the decorating side of the business. Lizy has a background in building surveying and is currently studying interior design, which helps clients make confident decisions about finishes, layouts, and colour schemes.
This combined approach is particularly valuable for hallway transformations, living room upgrades, panelling projects, media walls, and bathroom renovations in Bath, where detail and coordination matter.
How We Work
A Clear, Straightforward Process
Every project follows a simple and transparent process.
It starts with an initial phone call or email, often supported by photos of the work required. I’ll give honest feedback on whether the job is a good fit and a rough idea of costs.
A site visit follows, allowing us to talk through the details properly and discuss options. A clear, written quotation is then provided so expectations are agreed from the outset.
Once booked in, work is scheduled around the client. Materials are organised, the property is kept tidy, and progress is communicated throughout. At completion, everything is reviewed together to ensure the finished work meets expectations.


Serving Bath and the Surrounding Areas
Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference
We’re based in Bath and work primarily across Bath and nearby areas. Having worked locally for over 17 years, I’m familiar with the common challenges found in Bath’s housing stock and can often offer practical advice based on similar nearby properties.


The Clients We Work With
Homeowners Who Value Trust and Consistency
Most of our work is for homeowners, including landlords who own property in Bath but live elsewhere. Many clients trust us with keys to their homes and rely on us for ongoing maintenance and improvements.
What clients value most is knowing exactly who they are dealing with, having one point of responsibility, and feeling confident that the work will be carried out properly without surprises.

Our Work and Customer Feedback
Real Projects, Real Results
Some projects naturally stand out more than others, but the most consistent highlight is customer feedback. Reviews regularly mention reliability, communication, cleanliness, and the reassurance of dealing directly with the person carrying out the work.
We only use real project photos, never stock images, so what you see reflects genuine work completed in local homes.
