About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sweethaws

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Sweethaws

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sweethaws. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire suite

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sweethaws

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
