Coloured bath resurfacing in Stanton by Bridge, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Stanton by Bridge questions

Is there any odour?

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

Are there extra charges for Stanton by Bridge?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Stanton by Bridge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
