Landlord and trade work in Empingham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Empingham

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Empingham

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Empingham clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole suite

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Empingham

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
