Repairing versus replacing in Ratley

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ratley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Ratley customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ratley without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ratley

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Ratley?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ratley included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

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.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ratley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
