Coloured bath resurfacing for Upton homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Upton

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Upton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Upton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Upton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Upton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover Upton?

We do. We send a technician to Upton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Upton customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
