Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Stanbridge

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanbridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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 a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Stanbridge

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.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Stanbridge

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

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

Are there extra charges for Stanbridge?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Stanbridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
