Coloured bath resurfacing in Eye, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Eye

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Common problems we fix in Eye

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eye

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Questions from Eye

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will it make a mess?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Eye. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Eye?

We do. We send a technician to Eye for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
