Bath re-enamelling in Fence Houses without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Fence Houses and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fence Houses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Fence Houses, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

What your bath is made of matters

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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
FAQs for Fence Houses
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?
Everywhere in the UK, Fence Houses included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fence Houses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
