About our coloured bath resurfacing in Boythorpe

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in Boythorpe

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Boythorpe?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What affects the price in Boythorpe

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Boythorpe. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boythorpe

Letting agents often send us photos 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 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.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
