Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Malmesbury

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Malmesbury questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Malmesbury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Malmesbury

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Malmesbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Malmesbury

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.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
