Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Walcote

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Walcote: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leicestershire.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repair or replace in Walcote?

Replacing a coloured suite 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page or bath cost comparison.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
