About our bath re-enamelling in Manton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Manton questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Manton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Manton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Manton
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
