FAQs for Wanswell
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL13 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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 quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
