What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Burton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Burton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
About Burton
Burton is about 7 miles east of Yate, in Wiltshire. Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Burton is one of 425 places in Wiltshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Birmingham, about 68 miles away.
All of SN14 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From The Street, Church Rise and Church Hill or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Acton Turville (1 mile north-west), Badminton (2 miles north), Alderton (2 miles north-east), Grittleton (3 miles east) and Luckington (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Trowbridge (14 miles south), Chippenham (7 miles south-east), Calne (12 miles south-east), Melksham (11 miles south-east), Corsham (7 miles south-east) and Bradford-on-Avon (12 miles south).
Around Burton
In Burton, that means homes near Church of St Mary, The Old House at Home and Trinity Church of England Primary School and the streets around them. Nearby you’ll also find Castle Combe Museum (2.1 miles south-east).
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Burton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Burton?
We do. We send a technician to Burton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Burton. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Burton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
