Coloured bath resurfacing in Stockland

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Stockland

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Stockland

Repair or replace in Stockland?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Stockland

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stockland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Stockland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.

  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. 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Stockland

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
