About our bath repair in Shepton Beauchamp
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Shepton Beauchamp
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shepton Beauchamp. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Shepton Beauchamp
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
