Coloured bath resurfacing in Salisbury

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Salisbury

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salisbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Salisbury

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Salisbury?

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

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
