Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing in Burn, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Burn: your questions answered

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Burn?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Burn. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Burn

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
