Coloured bath resurfacing for Ball Hill homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ball Hill without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Ball Hill

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Ball Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ball Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Coventry and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

FAQs for Ball Hill

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
