Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hargrave

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Hargrave

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s 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 any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hargrave, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Hargrave customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Hargrave

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What do you need from me?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hargrave

For anyone letting property in or around Hargrave, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

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

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
