Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Scredda

Coloured bath resurfacing in Scredda without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Scredda

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why Scredda clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in Scredda

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Scredda?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Scredda. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scredda as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
