Coloured bath resurfacing in Dowanhill, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Dowanhill

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Dowanhill?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Dowanhill

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dowanhill. The price depends on:

The size and number of damaged areas
The type of damage
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

Details of any past repairs
One sharp close-up of the damage
Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

We protect the room and ventilate it.
Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
The surface is prepared and primed.
The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dowanhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
