About our coloured bath resurfacing in East Preston

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in East Preston

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

FAQs for East Preston

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

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.

What affects the price in East Preston

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to East Preston. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Preston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole suite

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
