Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Manod. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for Manod
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Manod?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are there extra charges for Manod?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we are called out for in Manod
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

Landlord and trade work in Manod
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
