Coloured bath resurfacing in Prospect, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Prospect

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Prospect?

We do. We send a technician to Prospect for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Prospect?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What affects the price in Prospect

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Prospect. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Prospect. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Prospect

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Most customers in Prospect get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
