Coloured bath resurfacing in Swallowfield

Coloured bath resurfacing in Swallowfield, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swallowfield

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Swallowfield

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

Swallowfield questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Swallowfield?

We do. We send a technician to Swallowfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price
