Coloured bath resurfacing near Newnham

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Newnham

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Newnham questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you come to Newnham?

We do. Technicians travel to Newnham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Newnham?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Repairing versus replacing in Newnham

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Newnham

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newnham. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newnham?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
