Coloured bath resurfacing in Gunn

Coloured bath resurfacing in Gunn without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing 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 Gunn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Gunn. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Gunn

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Gunn?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlord and trade work in Gunn

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

When to call us in Gunn

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
