Bath re-enamelling in East Herrington without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in East Herrington
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What else we do in East Herrington
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What affects the price in East Herrington
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to East Herrington. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common questions in East Herrington
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover East Herrington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to East Herrington and the rest of Sunderland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
