Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Carhampton

Coloured bath resurfacing in Carhampton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s 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.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Carhampton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave 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 key 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 day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Carhampton?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
