Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Olveston

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Olveston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Olveston

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Olveston

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover the entire of South Gloucestershire?

The entire UK, including all of South Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave 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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Olveston

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Olveston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Olveston clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS35 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
