Coloured bath resurfacing for Shard End homes

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shard End, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Shard End?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Shard End

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Shard End?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Warwickshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Landlord and trade work in Shard End

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shard End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Shard End

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shard End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
