Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Sandfields East, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sandfields East

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Sandfields East questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
