Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ram Hill

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

Ram Hill: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of South Gloucestershire?

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Ram Hill?

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ram Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Ram Hill

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Ram Hill clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
