About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bardsea

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bardsea?

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

Customers usually contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bardsea. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
