Coloured bath resurfacing for Knowle homes

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Knowle, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Knowle

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit 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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Knowle

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Knowle. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knowle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Knowle get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.
