Coloured bath resurfacing for Minnigaff homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Minnigaff, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Minnigaff, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Minnigaff

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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 day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
