Bath re-enamelling in East Rainton 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 cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace in East Rainton?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Common questions in East Rainton
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including East Rainton and the rest of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What else we do in East Rainton
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for East Rainton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in East Rainton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Rainton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in East Rainton
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
