10 questions to ask before you book

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dean, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dean use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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 day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Dean: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
