When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Carrickfergus

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When to call us in Carrickfergus

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Carrickfergus?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
