A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including West Wemyss. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

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.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean 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. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

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

West Wemyss questions

Are there extra charges for West Wemyss?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
