Coloured bath resurfacing for Boyton homes

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Boyton, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Boyton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done 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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Boyton: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boyton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boyton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
