Need coloured bath resurfacing in Bower Heath?

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bower Heath

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 work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Bower Heath

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bower Heath?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bower Heath?

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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