Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ross-on-Wye

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Ross-on-Wye. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ross-on-Wye

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ross-on-Wye

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Are there extra charges for Ross-on-Wye?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ross-on-Wye?

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

Customers normally contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
