How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Most customers in Bothal get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bothal, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common questions in Bothal

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Bothal, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Bothal

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
