How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Brown Lees

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Brown Lees

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover Brown Lees?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Brown Lees and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST8 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

When can you do it?

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Brown Lees

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
