Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Old Roan

Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Roan without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Most clients in Old Roan get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Old Roan

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Old Roan. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
