Coloured bath resurfacing in Burpham, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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 pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Burpham

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Burpham

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Burpham. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burpham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burpham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
