DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Oldford without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Oldford and across Somerset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Oldford

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When to call us in Oldford

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

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

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get 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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Oldford

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
