Coloured bath resurfacing in Walton-on-Trent without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Walton-on-Trent

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Walton-on-Trent?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE12 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Walton-on-Trent. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Walton-on-Trent

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Walton-on-Trent

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Walton-on-Trent. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Walton-on-Trent

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walton-on-Trent as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
