How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burdon
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Burdon
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Burdon?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Burdon. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
