About our coloured bath resurfacing in Barwell
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
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.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Most customers in Barwell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Barwell
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Barwell?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Barwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
