Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing in Catthorpe without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Catthorpe

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Catthorpe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Catthorpe?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Catthorpe, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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)
