Coloured bath resurfacing for Boulton homes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Boulton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Boulton as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Boulton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you cover Boulton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Boulton and the rest of Derby. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Landlord and trade work in Boulton

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boulton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Boulton

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

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

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Boulton clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
