How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Failand
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Failand
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Lower Failand

Questions from Lower Failand
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
