Coloured bath resurfacing in Bilbrook

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bilbrook, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Bilbrook

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Bilbrook included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Bilbrook?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TA24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Bilbrook

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bilbrook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
