Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Fernilee. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Fernilee: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Are you accredited?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Fernilee

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Fernilee customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
