Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Inch

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Inch

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

A suite that does not 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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

Whether we combine several jobs
How easy the damage is to reach
What the surface is made of
The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

Natural light rather than flash
Where you are, by postcode
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Inch questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you cover Inch?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Inch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Inch. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairing versus replacing in Inch

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

Work done at your home or business
Most jobs done in one visit
Nothing taken out or refitted
No extra charge for your area

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inch

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inch as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
