Coloured bath resurfacing in Fowlmere, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Fowlmere, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fowlmere. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fowlmere, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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 turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
