About our bath re-enamelling in Mansbridge
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What else we do in Mansbridge
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mansbridge?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions from Mansbridge
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover Mansbridge?
We do. We send a technician to Mansbridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Southampton. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Repair or replace in Mansbridge?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
