Coloured bath resurfacing in Wakerley, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Wakerley

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Wakerley questions

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you cover the whole of Rutland?

We cover the whole UK, including Wakerley and the rest of Rutland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Wakerley

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wakerley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rutland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
