Bath re-enamelling in Sunniside, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sunniside and across Gateshead.

What we’re called out for in Sunniside
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Sunniside
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Sunniside?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sunniside. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace in Sunniside?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
