Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Edney Common: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Edney Common

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Edney Common

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Prices and what affects them

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Edney Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
