What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shroton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Shroton

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Are there extra charges for Shroton?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover Shroton?

We do. We send a technician to Shroton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Shroton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shroton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
