Need coloured bath resurfacing in Matching Green?

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Matching Green

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

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Matching Green

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?

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 professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Matching Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can a coloured bath be made white?
