Coloured bath resurfacing near Burnfoot

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Burnfoot

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Burnfoot?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Burnfoot. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
