Coloured bath resurfacing for Baker Street homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Baker Street

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Baker Street?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Baker Street, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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)

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

Materials we work on in Baker Street

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Baker Street

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
