Bath re-enamelling in Newbottle without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Newbottle: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you work in Newbottle?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newbottle. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. 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.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Newbottle?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
