Coloured bath resurfacing for Ravenglass homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ravenglass

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. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Ravenglass

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ravenglass. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ravenglass

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Are there extra charges for Ravenglass?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Ravenglass and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Ravenglass

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Common problems we fix in Ravenglass

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
