Coloured bath resurfacing in East Hyde without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for East Hyde

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you cover East Hyde?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Hyde from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in East Hyde

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in East Hyde

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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 usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around East Hyde, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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 next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
