Coloured bath resurfacing for Dungate homes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dungate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dungate, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Dungate

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Dungate

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
