Coloured bath resurfacing for Coronation homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Coronation without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Coronation

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coronation as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You don’t 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Coronation

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A suite that does not 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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Coronation?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Coronation

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Coronation?

We do. We send a technician to Coronation for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will it make a mess?

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