Coloured bath resurfacing near Little Barrington

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite

If you are in Little Barrington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Little Barrington

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Little Barrington

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Little Barrington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Little Barrington

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Barrington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
