Coloured bath resurfacing in Leven

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Leven

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Leven

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Leven?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Leven, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Leven. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Leven

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What we do, step by step

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 clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

  • 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 you book.
