Bath re-enamelling in Sunderland without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sunderland as everywhere else we work.

- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Sunderland
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sunderland?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first 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.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
