Bath re-enamelling in Whiteleas without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When to call us in Whiteleas
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Whiteleas
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Whiteleas?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whiteleas and the rest of Sunderland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sunderland.

- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
