Coloured bath resurfacing for Covingham homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Covingham

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Covingham

What areas do you cover?

All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you work in Covingham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Covingham and the rest of Swindon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Covingham?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Covingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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