Coloured bath resurfacing in Barmpton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Barmpton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Barmpton: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Barmpton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Barmpton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Repair or replace in Barmpton?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Barmpton?

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

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barmpton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
