Coloured bath resurfacing in The Woodlands without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The Woodlands questions

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

When to call us in The Woodlands

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Woodlands

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in The Woodlands, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace in The Woodlands?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for The Woodlands. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
