What we’re called out for in Sunderland
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
Bath re-enamelling in Sunderland, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Sunderland
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Sunderland questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sunderland?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sunderland
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sunderland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SR3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
