Coloured bath resurfacing near Overthorpe

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

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

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Overthorpe

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

FAQs for Overthorpe

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Overthorpe?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, 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 you cover Overthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Overthorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Overthorpe

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
