Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hinxworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hinxworth

What happens next?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hinxworth included. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hinxworth.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hinxworth

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
