DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Friars Cliff

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Friars Cliff questions

Do you work in Friars Cliff?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Friars Cliff. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH23 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Friars Cliff. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Friars Cliff, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
