Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shipton Green

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Shipton Green

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you come to Shipton Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shipton Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Shipton Green?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Shipton Green

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Shipton Green. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
