Coloured bath resurfacing for Colne homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Colne, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Colne

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Colne

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Colne?

We do. We send a technician to Colne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repair or replace in Colne?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Colne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
