Coloured bath resurfacing for Smisby homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Smisby without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Smisby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

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 a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Smisby

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Smisby?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Smisby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
