Coloured bath resurfacing in Lye Green

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lye Green

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Lye Green questions

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Lye Green?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole suite

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Lye Green

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Lye Green clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
