Allensford: your questions answered
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Allensford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Allensford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Allensford.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What affects the price in Allensford
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Allensford. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Allensford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Allensford?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
