How we handle bath re-enamelling in Heartsease
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. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Questions from Heartsease
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Common problems we fix in Heartsease
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
