How we handle bath re-enamelling in Doxford Park
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Doxford Park and across Sunderland.

When to call us in Doxford Park
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Doxford Park, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
