How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Flexbury get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Repair or replace in Flexbury?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally cheaper.

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

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
