Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Castle Hill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Castle Hill

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Common problems we fix in Castle Hill

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

What affects the price in Castle Hill

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Castle Hill

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
