Coloured bath resurfacing for Witherenden Hill homes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Witherenden Hill

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Witherenden Hill

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Witherenden Hill: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repairing versus replacing in Witherenden Hill

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
