Coloured bath resurfacing in East Moors

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in East Moors

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in East Moors

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 most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

East Moors: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work 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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in East Moors

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
