Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Fifehead St Quintin

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fifehead St Quintin

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Fifehead St Quintin

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Fifehead St Quintin questions

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Fifehead St Quintin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fifehead St Quintin and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
