Coloured bath resurfacing for Kemprow homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kemprow

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Kemprow?

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Kemprow questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
