Coloured bath resurfacing near Stapleford

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Stapleford questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

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

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work in Stapleford?

We do. Technicians travel to Stapleford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Stapleford. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Stapleford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stapleford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
