Coloured bath resurfacing near Prestleigh

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Prestleigh, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Prestleigh

Are there extra charges for Prestleigh?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Prestleigh?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit 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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
