Need coloured bath resurfacing in Birdbush?

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Coloured bath resurfacing in Birdbush, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Birdbush

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Birdbush: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you cover Birdbush?

We do. We send a technician to Birdbush for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Birdbush?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Birdbush

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Birdbush. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Birdbush, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
