The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Point Clear

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Point Clear and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Point Clear

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Point Clear?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Point Clear

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Point Clear

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
