Coloured bath resurfacing near Roughbirchworth

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Roughbirchworth without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

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

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Roughbirchworth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

  • 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

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughbirchworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Roughbirchworth

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you cover Roughbirchworth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Roughbirchworth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
