Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Apethorpe

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Apethorpe

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Advice

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Apethorpe: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Apethorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Apethorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What affects the price in Apethorpe

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Apethorpe. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Apethorpe

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Apethorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Apethorpe

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.

Customers generally contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Apethorpe customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
