Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Bookham

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bookham without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Bookham

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What information do you need?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Bookham?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bookham?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Bookham

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Bookham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Bookham?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Bookham customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
