Coloured bath resurfacing in Blaxhall without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

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

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blaxhall, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Blaxhall

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice

FAQs for Blaxhall

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Blaxhall?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP12 postcode.

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.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Blaxhall, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
