Coloured bath resurfacing near Swan Bottom

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Swan Bottom, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays 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 sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Swan Bottom

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

FAQs for Swan Bottom

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Swan Bottom?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
