About our coloured bath resurfacing in Osmaston

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

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Osmaston

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do the materials smell?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Osmaston

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Osmaston

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Osmaston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
