Questions from Shawford
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 the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Shawford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shawford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What affects the price in Shawford
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Common problems we fix in Shawford
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
