Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Brigsteer

Why repair rather than replace?

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

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Coloured bath resurfacing in Brigsteer, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Brigsteer?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brigsteer. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Brigsteer and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
