Bath re-enamelling at your home in Manuden
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manuden use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Manuden. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Manuden
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we’re called out for in Manuden
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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 just wears the enamel further.
