Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Ingarsby without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Old Ingarsby

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Repair or replace in Old Ingarsby?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Old Ingarsby. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
