Coloured bath resurfacing near Heronsgate

Coloured bath resurfacing in Heronsgate without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Heronsgate

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Heronsgate

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Heronsgate

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Heronsgate. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
