Our hiring checklist

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Foldrings

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Foldrings

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What information do you need?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foldrings

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Foldrings, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
