Coloured bath resurfacing for Ticknall homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ticknall without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Ticknall

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ticknall. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlord and trade work in Ticknall

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Ticknall: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Ticknall?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ticknall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ticknall.
