Coloured bath resurfacing in Syston, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Syston
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Syston?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
