Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Church End

What we are called out for in Church End

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Church End. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Church End: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Church End?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you come to Church End?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Church End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Church End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
