Coloured bath resurfacing for Rushmere homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Rushmere, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Rushmere

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Rushmere?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushmere

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rushmere. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
