Coloured bath resurfacing in Garnethill

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Garnethill

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Garnethill

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Garnethill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Garnethill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Garnethill

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Garnethill?

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.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
