Coloured bath resurfacing near Gee Cross

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gee Cross

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Gee Cross questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
