Coloured bath resurfacing in Upcott

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upcott, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Upcott and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Upcott

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Upcott?

We do. We send a technician to Upcott for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Upcott, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Upcott and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Upcott

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • 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 to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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