Coloured bath resurfacing in Wickham

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wickham without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Wickham

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Wickham

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wickham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
