Coloured bath resurfacing in Minstead, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Minstead

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Advice

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Minstead

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minstead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Minstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Minstead

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Minstead?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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
