About our coloured bath resurfacing in Elsthorpe

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Elsthorpe?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Elsthorpe

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.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Elsthorpe?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Elsthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
