When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Henleaze

Do the materials smell?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Henleaze

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Henleaze

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Henleaze as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Henleaze. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Henleaze. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
