Our hiring checklist

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Bourton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Bourton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

Common questions in Great Bourton

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Great Bourton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Great Bourton?

We do. Technicians travel to Great Bourton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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 next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Great Bourton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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