DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wallyford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Wallyford
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What else we do in Wallyford
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Wallyford
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Wallyford?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Wallyford?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Landlord and trade work in Wallyford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.

Advice
What affects the price in Wallyford
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wallyford. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
