Coloured bath resurfacing near Old Warden

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Old Warden

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Old Warden

Repair or replace in Old Warden?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Warden

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Old Warden?

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