Coloured bath resurfacing for Stanford homes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stanford. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Stanford

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

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 are called out for in Stanford

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Stanford

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you work in Stanford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stanford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Stanford clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
