Need coloured bath resurfacing in West Side?

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in West Side, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

West Side: your questions answered

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Side. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
