Coloured bath resurfacing in Longstowe

Coloured bath resurfacing in Longstowe, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Longstowe: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What about the toilet?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

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

Common problems we fix in Longstowe

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
