Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Housel Bay homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Housel Bay, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Questions from Housel Bay
Can pets and children be at home?

Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Housel Bay included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR12 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
