About our coloured bath resurfacing in Swainsthorpe

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Swainsthorpe

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

What affects the price in Swainsthorpe

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
