About our bath re-enamelling in Fernham
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Fernham
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Fernham questions
Do you work in Fernham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fernham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Repair or replace in Fernham?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Fernham
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fernham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Fernham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Fernham
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fernham. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
