Coloured bath resurfacing near New Swannington

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in New Swannington

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

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

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

New Swannington: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover New Swannington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to New Swannington and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in New Swannington.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Swannington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
