Coloured bath resurfacing near Maypole

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Maypole

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we’re called out for in Maypole

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Maypole questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BR6 postcode.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Maypole?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Maypole for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maypole use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Maypole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Maypole. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Maypole, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
