Coloured bath resurfacing in Hesters Way

What we’re called out for in Hesters Way

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hesters Way

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

Hesters Way questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hesters Way.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hesters Way. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

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

What information do you need?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Hesters Way

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
