What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Prestbury

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
