Coloured bath resurfacing for Ullenwood homes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ullenwood, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Ullenwood

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Ullenwood questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Ullenwood?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL53 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repairing versus replacing in Ullenwood

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

What we are called out for in Ullenwood

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.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
