Coloured bath resurfacing for Penruddock homes

Repairing versus replacing in Penruddock

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Coloured bath resurfacing in Penruddock without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.

Questions from Penruddock

Do you cover Penruddock?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Penruddock. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about the toilet?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Penruddock

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
