Book coloured bath resurfacing in Ravenhead

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ravenhead

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to 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. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

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

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ravenhead use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Common questions in Ravenhead

Is it messy?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What about the toilet?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
