Coloured bath resurfacing for Stretton homes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Stretton without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Stretton. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Stretton

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Stretton questions

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Stretton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
