Need coloured bath resurfacing in Leicester Forest West?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Leicester Forest West

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Leicester Forest West?

We do. We send a technician to Leicester Forest West for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Leicester Forest West

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

What affects the price in Leicester Forest West

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Leicester Forest West. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
