Coloured bath resurfacing for Bachelor's Bump homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bachelor's Bump, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bachelor's Bump as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Bachelor's Bump

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Bachelor's Bump questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Bachelor's Bump is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
