How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Uppertown

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Uppertown

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Uppertown

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

What affects the price in Uppertown

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
