Coloured bath resurfacing near Lydgate

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lydgate

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Lydgate

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lydgate. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Lydgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
