Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in St Matthew's

Coloured bath resurfacing in St Matthew's without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Matthew's

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Matthew's use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 repair

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

FAQs for St Matthew's

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE1 postcode.

What about the toilet?

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

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for St Matthew's?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Leicester. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Matthew's

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
