Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Wapley

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Wapley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wapley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Wapley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Wapley

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover the entire of South Gloucestershire?

We cover the entire UK, including Wapley and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wapley. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Wapley

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

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
