Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Sunniside, Sunderland
Our repair technicians come to Sunniside for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Sunniside
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Sunniside
Do you come to Sunniside?

Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
If you’re in Sunniside and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we’re called out for in Sunniside
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
