Questions from Upton
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Upton.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Upton?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA4 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Upton. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TA4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Upton
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
