Coloured bath resurfacing in Burrington, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced 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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Burrington

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Burrington

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
