Repair or replace in Lyons?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place

Bath re-enamelling in Lyons 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. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Lyons: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Lyons?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lyons and the rest of Sunderland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Lyons, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Lyons
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
What affects the price in Lyons
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lyons, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
