About our coloured bath resurfacing in Flackley Ash

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Flackley Ash

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flackley Ash as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
