Coloured bath resurfacing for Lintzford homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lintzford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lintzford?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Lintzford contact us are:

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

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Lintzford

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Lintzford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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