About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ovington

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ovington

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • 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

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Ovington

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site

Questions from Ovington

Can you do the toilet too?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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