Coloured bath resurfacing in Kennishead without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Kennishead

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Kennishead

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Kennishead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Kennishead?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
