Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Echt

Coloured bath resurfacing in Echt without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Echt and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Echt

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

Customers usually contact us about:

  • 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 does not match a new bathroom

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Echt

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Echt

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for Echt?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
