Coloured bath resurfacing near Braughing

Coloured bath resurfacing in Braughing without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Braughing and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Braughing

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Braughing?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Braughing. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
