Coloured bath resurfacing in Shawbirch

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shawbirch

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shawbirch and across Telford and Wrekin. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shawbirch. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

For a price in Shawbirch, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

Shawbirch questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Shawbirch?

We do. We send a technician to Shawbirch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Are there extra charges for Shawbirch?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Shawbirch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Shawbirch

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
