What we’re called out for in Manafon
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Manafon
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Manafon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Manafon. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
