Coloured bath resurfacing for Rugby homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rugby

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rugby and across Warwickshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Rugby

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Rugby questions

Can you do the toilet too?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

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

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Rugby?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.
