Coloured bath resurfacing for Broadford homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Broadford, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often 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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Broadford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

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 fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Broadford

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Common reasons people in Broadford contact us are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Broadford?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

FAQs for Broadford

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
