Coloured bath resurfacing for Boghead homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Boghead

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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

What affects the price in Boghead

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boghead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Boghead

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

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 also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Boghead

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Boghead

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
