Coloured bath resurfacing near Little Bosullow

Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Bosullow without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Little Bosullow: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are you accredited?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Little Bosullow?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Little Bosullow?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Bosullow

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
