Bath repair in Shapwick, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Shapwick
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Shapwick: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shapwick. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you come to Shapwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shapwick and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shapwick?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we are called out for in Shapwick
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
