Coloured bath resurfacing in West Smethwick

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in West Smethwick

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in West Smethwick and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around West Smethwick, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

Choosing a repair company

West Smethwick: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in West Smethwick

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
