Landlords, agents and businesses in Sunderland Bridge
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sunderland Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath re-enamelling in Sunderland Bridge, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Sunderland Bridge
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Sunderland Bridge?
We do. We send a technician to Sunderland Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Sunderland Bridge
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
