Coloured bath resurfacing for Great Wratting homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Great Wratting, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, 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, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Great Wratting: your questions answered

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Great Wratting

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Great Wratting, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

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 photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Great Wratting get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
