  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shepton Mallet without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Shepton Mallet

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Shepton Mallet. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Shepton Mallet, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
