Need coloured bath resurfacing in Vines Cross?

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Most clients in Vines Cross get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Vines Cross, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

FAQs for Vines Cross

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

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

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are there extra charges for Vines Cross?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Vines Cross. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
