Coloured bath resurfacing in Green Owlers, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Green Owlers customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Green Owlers: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Green Owlers

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Green Owlers. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HD7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
