Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Broom Hill, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broom Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Broom Hill clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Broom Hill: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Broom Hill?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Broom Hill
