Coloured bath resurfacing for Kilkenny homes

What we are called out for in Kilkenny

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

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kilkenny without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kilkenny. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Kilkenny clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Kilkenny

Do you cover Kilkenny?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kilkenny from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Kilkenny. Prices do not change with location.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kilkenny. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilkenny

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilkenny use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
