How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rudge

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Is it messy?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Rudge?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Common problems we fix in Rudge

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Rudge. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rudge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Rudge

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
