Coloured bath resurfacing for Ringshall Stocks homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ringshall Stocks, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Ringshall Stocks, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Ringshall Stocks questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Ringshall Stocks?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What about the toilet?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Common problems we fix in Ringshall Stocks

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
