Need coloured bath resurfacing in Boyden Gate?

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • Normally one visit, start to finish

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Boyden Gate

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Boyden Gate?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
