How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Grimesthorpe

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white 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: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Grimesthorpe

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Which areas do you work in?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Will there be a smell?

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
