How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Common End

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Common End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
