Coloured bath resurfacing in Hodnet

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hodnet without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Hodnet

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hodnet use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Hodnet

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Hodnet?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
