How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shortlands

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Items cracked right through

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shortlands

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

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

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The colour and finish to match
The material and finish
How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your photos

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

Natural light rather than flash
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A close-up of the damage, in focus
What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Shortlands?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

We protect the room and ventilate it.
We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Point us to the nearest place to park
Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
