Bath re-enamelling in Painswick without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Painswick. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Painswick
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Painswick
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work in Painswick?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Painswick. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
