Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Bygrave

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bygrave

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s 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.

Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Faded or patchy colour

We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bygrave questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SG7 postcode.

Repairing versus replacing in Bygrave

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
