Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Uplands

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Uplands

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Uplands. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Uplands: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Uplands and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you cover Uplands?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Uplands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
