Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Ugborough?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ugborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Ugborough

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
