Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Beer

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Beer

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Beer?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Beer for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Beer. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Beer get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Beer

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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