Coloured bath resurfacing for Swarby homes

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Swarby

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Swarby as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Swarby

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What about the toilet?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Swarby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
