Coloured bath resurfacing in Broomhill, 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 technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Broomhill

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Questions from Broomhill

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Broomhill?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Common problems we fix in Broomhill

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

Common reasons people in Broomhill contact us are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

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

What we work on

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