The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Common questions in Glanton

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Glanton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glanton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Glanton

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Glanton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glanton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Glanton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
