Need coloured bath resurfacing in The Pludds?

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why The Pludds clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Coloured bath resurfacing in The Pludds without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When to call us in The Pludds

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

The Pludds questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you come to The Pludds?

We do. Technicians travel to The Pludds from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in The Pludds, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
