Coloured bath resurfacing near Hiltingbury

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hiltingbury without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Questions from Hiltingbury

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SO53 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hiltingbury, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hiltingbury

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Hiltingbury customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When to call us in Hiltingbury

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
