Coloured bath resurfacing for Misery Corner homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Misery Corner

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Misery Corner

Is it messy?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Misery Corner. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

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

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Misery Corner

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Common problems we fix in Misery Corner

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
