Coloured bath resurfacing for Box homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Box

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Box and across Carmarthenshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Box customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 normally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Box

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Box?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Box. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Box, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Box as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Box

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • 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
