Coloured bath resurfacing in Thrupp, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Thrupp

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take 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 key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Thrupp

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thrupp

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thrupp. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures 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.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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)

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

Materials we work on in Thrupp

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can pets and children be at home?
