About our bath re-enamelling in Ramsey Island

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ramsey Island use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ramsey Island

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ramsey Island, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

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 resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Ramsey Island

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
