Coloured bath resurfacing in Rowell, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

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.

What we are called out for in Rowell

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Rowell

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Rowell

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Rowell?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Rowell. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rowell

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
