DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bishop's Sutton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Bishop's Sutton questions

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
