How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ripple

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Ripple and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Ripple

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Ripple, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Questions from Ripple

Will it make a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover Ripple?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ripple for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we can’t put right

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
