Bonnington questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to Bonnington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bonnington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bonnington?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EH6 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Bonnington, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What else we do in Bonnington
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Bonnington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bonnington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
