Coloured bath resurfacing for Riby homes

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Riby?

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

Common reasons people in Riby contact us include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Riby

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Riby

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Riby

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Riby is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Riby.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, 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.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Riby

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Riby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

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