Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Quebec

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Quebec. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Quebec, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Quebec without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Landlords, agents and businesses in Quebec

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts 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

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Quebec questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Quebec?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Quebec

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
