Coloured bath resurfacing near Bletsoe

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bletsoe

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bletsoe and across Bedford Borough. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bletsoe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
