Coloured bath resurfacing for Welby homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Welby

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t 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.

Why Welby clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Welby, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Welby

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

Common questions in Welby

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Welby?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE14 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welby

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.

If you manage property in Welby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Welby

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
