Questions from Yate

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BS37 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Gloucestershire.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Yate

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Yate. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
