Coloured bath resurfacing for Ridgewood homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ridgewood

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ridgewood, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ridgewood

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we are called out for in Ridgewood

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Questions from Ridgewood

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
