Coloured bath resurfacing in Gorse Hill, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gorse Hill and across Swindon. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Gorse Hill

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Gorse Hill?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gorse Hill

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
