Coloured bath resurfacing near Overtown

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Overtown

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Overtown

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Overtown

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
