Landlords, agents and businesses in Herrington
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Herrington
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
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.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Questions from Herrington
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Herrington?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
