How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Penkhull without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Penkhull

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work in Penkhull?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Penkhull. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Penkhull. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Penkhull?

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penkhull

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair
