Coloured bath resurfacing near Ringlestone

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ringlestone

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ringlestone. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Ringlestone, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ringlestone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
