Coloured bath resurfacing for Borley homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Borley without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Borley

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Borley

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
