If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Castletown
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are there extra charges for Castletown?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Castletown. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Castletown customers choose us

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castletown as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Castletown
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Castletown contact us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
