Coloured bath resurfacing in Grimsthorpe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Grimsthorpe

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grimsthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Grimsthorpe

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Grimsthorpe: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Grimsthorpe and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Grimsthorpe?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
