Need coloured bath resurfacing in Wem?

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Wem

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wem. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wem, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we’re called out for in Wem

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Wem: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Wem?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wem. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
