About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lydgate

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lydgate?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Lydgate contact us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Lydgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Lydgate

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When a repair is not 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lydgate

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

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lydgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The type of damage

  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
