Coloured bath resurfacing near Durford Wood

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Durford Wood

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Durford Wood

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

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why Durford Wood customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Durford Wood

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you work in Durford Wood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Durford Wood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your GU33 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Honest limits

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Durford Wood

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
