Coloured bath resurfacing for Boroughby homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Boroughby

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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 following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Boroughby

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Boroughby customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

How to compare quotes

Boroughby questions

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of Peterborough?

The whole UK, including all of Peterborough. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.
