Coloured bath resurfacing near Bray Shop

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bray Shop, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bray Shop as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Common questions in Bray Shop

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

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 let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What about the toilet?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you come to Bray Shop?

We do. We send a technician to Bray Shop for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Bray Shop, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
