Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tinshill, 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 a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tinshill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tinshill. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tinshill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Tinshill

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Landlord and trade work in Tinshill

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
