Coloured bath resurfacing in Hart, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Hart

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Hart

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Hart and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hart

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Hart?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hart. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

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

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
