Book coloured bath resurfacing in Sketchley

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sketchley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sketchley

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Sketchley

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

Common problems we fix in Sketchley

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Sketchley questions

Do you come to Sketchley?

We do. Technicians travel to Sketchley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. 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. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Sketchley, pictures 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.

Landlord and trade work in Sketchley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

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 quote.
