Our hiring checklist

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Canford Magna

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling.

Questions from Canford Magna

Are there extra charges for Canford Magna?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Canford Magna. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Canford Magna, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through

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