Coloured bath resurfacing in Colthrop, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

FAQs for Colthrop

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Colthrop included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover Colthrop?

We do. Technicians travel to Colthrop from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Colthrop

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Colthrop. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Colthrop get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Colthrop

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

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

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
