How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Staverton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Staverton

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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 to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Staverton. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Staverton

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

Clients usually contact us about:

  • 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

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
