Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Branchton

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Branchton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Branchton

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 frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Branchton

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.

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

FAQs for Branchton

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
