Coloured bath resurfacing in Emsworth

Coloured bath resurfacing in Emsworth, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Emsworth and across West Sussex. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Emsworth?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Emsworth questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Emsworth

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Emsworth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Emsworth

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

Common reasons people in Emsworth contact us are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
