Bath re-enamelling in New Herrington, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in New Herrington
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Herrington
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including New Herrington and the rest of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
