Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Southerndown

Coloured bath resurfacing in Southerndown, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Southerndown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

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

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

Common problems we fix in Southerndown

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Southerndown

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Southerndown?

We do. We send a technician to Southerndown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
