What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Fenton customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Fenton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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