Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Mepal

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Mepal

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Mepal and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Mepal customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

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

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Mepal: your questions answered

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB6 postcode.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Mepal.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Mepal. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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.

The process

From the moment we arrive, 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. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Most clients in Mepal 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mepal. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mepal

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
