Coloured bath resurfacing near Loughborough

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Loughborough. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Loughborough and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Loughborough

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Loughborough

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Loughborough

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Loughborough

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover Loughborough?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Loughborough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Loughborough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
