Need coloured bath resurfacing in Swardeston?

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Swardeston

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Swardeston, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Swardeston

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Swardeston

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Swardeston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Swardeston

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swardeston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

FAQs for Swardeston

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Swardeston included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
