Coloured bath resurfacing near Bridge

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bridge, done in place

A full suite is generally 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 a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Bridge questions

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work in Bridge?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Bridge?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Bridge

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
