Coloured bath resurfacing in Etruria

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Coloured bath resurfacing in Etruria, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Etruria?

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.

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Etruria

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Stoke-on-Trent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Etruria.

Do you come to Etruria?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Etruria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Etruria

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
