About our coloured bath resurfacing in Downham West

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

FAQs for Downham West

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Downham West?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What about the toilet?

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Downham West?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Downham West, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
