Coloured bath resurfacing near Stanley Green

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Stanley Green

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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 following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Stanley Green

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Stanley Green: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do the materials smell?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover Stanley Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stanley Green and the rest of Poole. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
