Book coloured bath resurfacing in Star

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Star

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Star as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take 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 key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Star

Do you work in Star?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of North Somerset?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What affects the price in Star

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Star

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
