Coloured bath resurfacing in Grange Hill

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Grange Hill

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Grange Hill

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Grange Hill. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Grange Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
