Trusted bath re-enamelling in Ram

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Ram without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When to call us in Ram

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Ram

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
