Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Benton

Coloured bath resurfacing in Benton, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What we’re called out for in Benton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Benton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
