Book coloured bath resurfacing in Harlow Hill

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Harlow Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harlow Hill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Harlow Hill

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

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

Comparing quotes

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Harlow Hill

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Harlow Hill questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Harlow Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
