Why Choose a Trusted Builder in Bath
Choosing a trusted builder in Bath is about more than just finding someone who can do the work. It is about confidence, reliability, communication, and knowing that the person you speak to is the person who will be in your home carrying out the work. At Ely’s Bath Builder, trust is built through experience, consistency, and long-term relationships with local homeowners.
For over 17 years, I have worked across Bath delivering domestic building and home improvement projects with a personal, hands-on approach. From the first enquiry through to completion, everything is handled directly, without sales teams, handovers, or unfamiliar subcontractors.
One Consistent Team From Start to Finish
One of the biggest concerns homeowners have when hiring a builder is not knowing who will actually turn up to do the work. At Ely’s Bath Builder, clients deal with the same people throughout the entire project.
I manage and carry out the building work myself, while my sister Lizy runs the decorating side of the business. This consistency removes confusion, reduces delays, and ensures decisions are made quickly and clearly on site. It also means accountability stays exactly where it should be, with the people doing the work.
This approach is particularly valuable for coordinated projects involving plastering, carpentry, tiling, and painting and decorating, where timing and finish quality matter.
Over 17 Years of Experience Working Across Bath
Experience matters, especially when working on homes in Bath, where property styles, materials, and structural quirks vary widely. Having worked locally for over 17 years, I have built a strong understanding of Bath’s housing stock and the practical challenges that often come with it.
It is rare for me to work on a street where I have not already completed some form of building, improvement, or maintenance work. That local knowledge allows me to offer informed advice and realistic solutions based on real experience, not guesswork.
This long-term presence is one of the reasons many clients come through word-of-mouth recommendations, often from neighbours nearby.Experience matters, especially when working on homes in Bath, where property styles, materials, and structural quirks vary widely.

A Long-Standing Review History Built on Real Work
Trust is not built overnight. It comes from consistently delivering quality work and standing by it over time.
Ely’s Bath Builder has a long-standing review history tied directly to the people carrying out the work. Clients regularly mention reliability, clear communication, and the reassurance of dealing directly with a builder they trust, especially after previous poor experiences elsewhere.

Only Real Project Photos, No Stock Images
Every image you see of our work shows real projects completed in local homes. We never use stock photos or generic images.
This matters because it gives a clear and honest picture of the standard of workmanship you can expect. Whether it is a hallway transformation, bespoke carpentry, plastering work, or a bathroom renovation, what you see reflects genuine results delivered in Bath properties.
Built on Long-Term Client Relationships
Many clients trust us with keys to their homes, including landlords who live outside Bath and rely on us for ongoing maintenance and improvements. That level of trust comes from clear communication, tidy working practices, and knowing there is one person responsible from start to finish.
Rather than focusing on volume or rushing between jobs, Ely’s Bath Builder focuses on doing the work properly and building relationships that last beyond a single project.
Reliable Delivery, Clear Communication, and Honest Pricing
One of the most common concerns homeowners raise is reliability. Will the builder turn up when they say they will, keep the site tidy, and finish the work to the agreed standard.
Projects with Ely’s Bath Builder follow a clear and straightforward process. After an initial enquiry, I carry out a site visit, discuss options, and provide a clear written quotation so expectations are agreed from the outset. Work is then scheduled around the client, materials are organised in advance, and progress is communicated throughout.
At completion, the work is reviewed together to ensure everything meets expectations.
Qualified, Insured, and Experienced
As a trusted builder in Bath, professional standards are taken seriously.
Ely’s Bath Builder is fully insured for domestic building work, including public liability insurance. I hold City and Guilds qualifications, health and safety certifications, and a CSCS card through CITB. These are supported by many years of hands-on experience across domestic building and home improvement work.
Skills are also kept up to date through ongoing learning as new materials, systems, and best practices emerge.
Services Delivered With Care and Consistency
Our work covers a wide range of domestic projects, including:
-
Plastering and surface preparation
-
Carpentry and joinery
-
Painting and decorating
-
Tiling and bathroom renovations
-
Built-in storage and interior upgrades

Property maintenance and small renovations
Because much of this work is carried out by the same team, projects run smoothly and finishes remain consistent from start to finish.
