Coloured bath resurfacing in Shallowford

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shallowford

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Shallowford

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shallowford

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Shallowford and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
