Coloured bath resurfacing for Hengrove homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hengrove, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Hengrove?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hengrove. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hengrove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Hengrove

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • 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

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Hengrove questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
