Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Elston

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Elston and across Wiltshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Elston questions

Do the materials smell?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Elston?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Elston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Elston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Common problems we fix in Elston

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
