Coloured bath resurfacing in Abenhall without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Abenhall and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abenhall

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abenhall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Abenhall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole suite

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

Abenhall questions

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Abenhall?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Abenhall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Abenhall

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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