Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Appleton Thorn

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Appleton Thorn

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Appleton Thorn

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Appleton Thorn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Appleton Thorn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Appleton Thorn questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What affects the price in Appleton Thorn

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
