About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bridge End

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bridge End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Bridge End questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
