Coloured bath resurfacing near Gadshill

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gadshill

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Gadshill?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Gadshill?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What we’re called out for in Gadshill

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Gadshill

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Gadshill

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price
