Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Ryde

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ryde, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Ryde and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Ryde

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Ryde?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Ryde

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Ryde get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repair or replace in Ryde?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When to call us in Ryde

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
