About our coloured bath resurfacing in Rafford

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rafford as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Rafford

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Rafford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we are called out for in Rafford

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • 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

Choosing a repair company

Rafford: your questions answered

Do you work in Rafford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rafford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Rafford and the rest of Moray. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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