Coloured bath resurfacing near Chaffcombe

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Chaffcombe

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

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?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chaffcombe. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Chaffcombe: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

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

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
