What affects the price in Dolphinholme

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dolphinholme, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Dolphinholme: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA2 postcode.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide, so Dolphinholme is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
