Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackford, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackford as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

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

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

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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 day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Blackford

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

Repair or replace in Blackford?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Blackford questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What about the toilet?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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