DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Sharlston: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sharlston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sharlston?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Sharlston

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
