Coloured bath resurfacing in Street Lane without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Street Lane: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Street Lane

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Street Lane

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A suite that doesn’t 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

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Street Lane. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Street Lane, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
