Ipstones: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you come to Ipstones?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ipstones and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Ipstones?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ipstones. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ipstones, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Ipstones
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
