Coloured bath resurfacing near Upwell

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upwell without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not 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.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

When to call us in Upwell

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Upwell

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Upwell: your questions answered

Do you cover Upwell?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace in Upwell?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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