Coloured bath resurfacing near Medburn

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Medburn

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Medburn?

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Medburn

  • Coloured shower trays

Medburn questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Medburn included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you come to Medburn?

We do. Technicians travel to Medburn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Medburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Medburn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Medburn

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Medburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
