How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Marksbury

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marksbury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Marksbury

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Marksbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Marksbury?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Marksbury?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Marksbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What affects the price in Marksbury

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Marksbury. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
