Coloured bath resurfacing in Wiston, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wiston. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Wiston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Most clients in Wiston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Wiston

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Wiston?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wiston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wiston

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Wiston

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
