Coloured bath resurfacing in West End

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in West End

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around West End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for West End

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
