Coloured bath resurfacing for Henbury homes

What affects the price in Henbury

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Henbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Henbury, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Henbury

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Henbury

Do you cover the entire of Bristol?

We work UK-wide, so Henbury is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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)

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
