Coloured bath resurfacing in Ranby

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ranby without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Ranby: your questions answered

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Ranby

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ranby

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Ranby customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
