Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Scriven

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scriven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Scriven

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

Repairing versus replacing in Scriven

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Scriven clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
