How we handle bath re-enamelling in Manor Powis
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Manor Powis questions
Do you cover the whole of Stirling?
Across the UK, so Manor Powis is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common problems we fix in Manor Powis
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
