Coloured bath resurfacing near Bathpool

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bathpool without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Bathpool

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Bathpool clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bathpool

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Bathpool

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bathpool. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
