Coloured bath resurfacing in South Yardley

Coloured bath resurfacing in South Yardley without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in South Yardley

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Yardley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Yardley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in South Yardley

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