How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Chisworth

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Chisworth

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What affects the price in Higher Chisworth

  • How much damage there is

How to get a fixed quote

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
