Coloured bath resurfacing near Heather

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Heather

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Heather

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Heather questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Heather included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Heather, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
