Coloured bath resurfacing in St Werburghs

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Werburghs. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in St Werburghs

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in St Werburghs and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in St Werburghs

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Are you accredited?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in St Werburghs?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350.

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
