Need coloured bath resurfacing in The Village?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in The Village, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for The Village

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, The Village included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in The Village

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

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

When a repair is not the answer

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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in The Village?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
