How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Row Heath

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Row Heath?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Row Heath

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Row Heath, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Row Heath

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Row Heath.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Row Heath?

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