Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in The Bank

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in The Bank

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in The Bank

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you come to The Bank?

We do. Repair technicians travel to The Bank from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in The Bank?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST7 postcode.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in The Bank

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Bank. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in The Bank get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
