Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckstone
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Buckstone. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Buckstone, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
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 normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. 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.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Buckstone: your questions answered
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Buckstone?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Buckstone?
We do. We send a technician to Buckstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Buckstone is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
