Coloured bath resurfacing in Fordham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fordham and across Cambridgeshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Fordham

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Fordham?

We do. We send a technician to Fordham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fordham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
