Need coloured bath resurfacing in Ladock?

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ladock

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Ladock

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ladock. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ladock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Ladock customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

When a repair is not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Ladock

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ladock.

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 the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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