Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Weald

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Weald, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Common problems we fix in Upper Weald

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A suite that does not 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

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Upper Weald. The price comes down to:

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Weald

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for Upper Weald?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Upper Weald is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
