Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How much damage there is
The material and finish
Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

One picture of the whole suite
Something in shot to show the size
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Fern get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fern, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Fern

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for Fern

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

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?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When to call us in Fern

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

What aftercare is recommended
Whether the colour is mixed to match
Whether the price covers travel
What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

The room is protected and ventilated.
We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Let us know about parking or access
Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Fern

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
