Coloured bath resurfacing in Norton, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Norton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Norton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Norton: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Does someone need to be in?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

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

Landlord and trade work in Norton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Norton

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

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Norton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
