Coloured bath resurfacing for Horsey homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Horsey, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Horsey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Horsey: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Horsey?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Horsey. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Horsey included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Horsey

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
