Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gutch Common

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

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Gutch Common

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What affects the price in Gutch Common

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gutch Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Gutch Common

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
