Coloured bath resurfacing for Great Gate homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Great Gate

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Gate

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Great Gate: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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 pictures of each item.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Great Gate

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Gate. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Great Gate

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

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
