About our coloured bath resurfacing in Alford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Alford
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Alford?
We do. Technicians travel to Alford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
