How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gifford

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Gifford

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

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Repairing versus replacing in Gifford

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
