What we are called out for in Fern
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fern
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Fern
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fern. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Fern?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Fern
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Fern and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Fern?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SL7 postcode.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
