Bath re-enamelling in Shapwick without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shapwick and across Somerset.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shapwick. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Shapwick
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Shapwick
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Shapwick?
We do. We send a technician to Shapwick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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 can work around your bookings.
