About our coloured bath resurfacing in Preston-le-Skerne
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
FAQs for Preston-le-Skerne
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Preston-le-Skerne
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston-le-Skerne use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
