Coloured bath resurfacing in Gay Street

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gay Street

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Gay Street

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Clients usually contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
