About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bownham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bownham questions

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Bownham?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gloucestershire.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are there extra charges for Bownham?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we work on in Bownham

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

When to call us in Bownham

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

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
