Coloured bath resurfacing near Priory Heath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Priory Heath, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Priory Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Priory Heath

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Priory Heath

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
