What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Stone

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Stone

Are you accredited?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Common problems we fix in Stone

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

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

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
