About our coloured bath resurfacing in Skipwith

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Skipwith

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Customers typically contact us about:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
