Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Laddenvean
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Laddenvean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Laddenvean get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
