Coloured bath resurfacing near Chelvey

Coloured bath resurfacing in Chelvey, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Chelvey

Do you come to Chelvey?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chelvey and the rest of North Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS48 postcode.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chelvey

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Chelvey

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Chelvey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.
