Coloured bath resurfacing near Potter Hill

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Potter Hill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Potter Hill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Potter Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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