Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Heart's Delight
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Heart's Delight included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Heart's Delight
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heart's Delight use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
