Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Colwich

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Colwich

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Colwich

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Colwich

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
