Questions from Heald Green

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

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

How soon can you come?

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Heald Green

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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 following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
