Coloured bath resurfacing near Heathgates

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Heathgates without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heathgates as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heathgates. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Heathgates

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
