Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Killerby

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Killerby

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Killerby. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
