What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garthorpe

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

For anyone letting property in or around Garthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
