Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Manton, Rutland
We travel to Manton for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling in Manton, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Manton as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
