How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ovenden

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Common questions in Ovenden

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Ovenden is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ovenden

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will 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.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ovenden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
