Need coloured bath resurfacing in Halfway Street?

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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 following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Halfway Street

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Halfway Street

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Halfway Street. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
