What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for East Horrington
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BA5 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in East Horrington?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in East Horrington
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
For a price in East Horrington, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
