Coloured bath resurfacing for Swffryd homes

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Swffryd

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Swffryd, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Swffryd

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Swffryd

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are there extra charges for Swffryd?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Swffryd. Prices do not change with location.

Is it messy?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swffryd

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swffryd use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
