Common questions in Curbar
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Curbar?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
