How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Alton Barnes

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Alton Barnes

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Alton Barnes

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Alton Barnes: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Alton Barnes is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alton Barnes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
