Coloured bath resurfacing in Flushing, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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 with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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. 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 next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

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

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.

When to call us in Flushing

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.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Flushing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Flushing, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
