Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Bath re-enamelling in Manselton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Manselton
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
