Coloured bath resurfacing for Newington homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Newington

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Newington clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Questions from Newington

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Landlord and trade work in Newington

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Newington

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Newington. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newington?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
