How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Swaby

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Swaby

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

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

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

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlord and trade work in Swaby

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Swaby questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Swaby included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Are you accredited?

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

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)

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