Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rudmore

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Rudmore

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rudmore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Rudmore. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Rudmore, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rudmore

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rudmore use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Portsmouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
