Coloured bath resurfacing in Grovesend, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Grovesend

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Grovesend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Grovesend, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
