About our coloured bath resurfacing in Elrick

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Elrick

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Elrick. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elrick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

When a repair is not the answer

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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elrick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
