Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Lane End
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lane End
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures, as it can add time.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lane End?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- 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
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Repairing versus replacing in Lane End
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Lane End
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lane End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
