Coloured bath resurfacing near Wilsontown

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wilsontown, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wilsontown as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour 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 jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Wilsontown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Wilsontown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Wilsontown

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Wilsontown

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
