Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shapwick
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace in Shapwick?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shapwick questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Shapwick?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Shapwick?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
