Bath re-enamelling in Cox Green, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cox Green
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When to call us in Cox Green
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
