Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Ford Green

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ford Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ford Green

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ford Green

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

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Ford Green

When can you do it?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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