Coloured bath resurfacing near Shifnal

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shifnal

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you have selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

In a place the size of Shifnal, we are generally working in a family home or a bungalow. One visit is normally enough.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Shifnal

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. For a home around Shifnal where the suite is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shifnal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Shifnal clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

10 questions to ask before you book

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Shifnal

Do you work for landlords with property near Shifnal station?

Yes. We fix coloured suites between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.

Is it worth repairing old coloured suites in a period home in Shifnal?

Typically: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We will give you an honest view from pictures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Shifnal and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What a repair cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use. Around Shifnal, access and parking are normally easy. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
