Coloured bath resurfacing near Lower Gravenhurst

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Gravenhurst

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

FAQs for Lower Gravenhurst

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Gravenhurst?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
