Coloured bath resurfacing in Painswick, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Painswick as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Painswick

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Painswick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Painswick. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Painswick?

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Painswick

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Painswick.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Painswick?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
