Coloured bath resurfacing near Blackrock

Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackrock without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix 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, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Blackrock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Blackrock

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Blackrock

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

What we’re called out for in Blackrock

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

Customers normally contact us about:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
