How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Brackenfield

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE55 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Brackenfield

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
