Coloured bath resurfacing for Nettlebed homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Nettlebed without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Nettlebed and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Nettlebed

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nettlebed use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Nettlebed?

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

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • 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

What affects the price in Nettlebed

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nettlebed. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
