Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Ramshaw
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Repairing versus replacing in Ramshaw
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ramshaw
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
FAQs for Ramshaw
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Ramshaw included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ramshaw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ramshaw, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
