Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bearwood
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bearwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
