DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hanwood, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Somewhere as small as Hanwood, you will find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Repairing in place avoids that.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Hanwood

Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Hanwood?

Often, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Do you work for landlords with property near Shrewsbury station?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Hanwood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hanwood. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace in Hanwood?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Older homes around Hanwood may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our Full price list And Resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Hanwood

Prices start from £350. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hanwood

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • 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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Thomas, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere like Hanwood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the coloured bath resurfacing, so there is no second trip.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
