Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stoneygate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Stoneygate

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Stoneygate?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Stoneygate: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Stoneygate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stoneygate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What we are called out for in Stoneygate

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Stoneygate contact us are:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price
