Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Canewdon

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Canewdon?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Canewdon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Canewdon?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • 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

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Canewdon. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
