Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Westbourne

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Westbourne: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Westbourne.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Westbourne?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Westbourne?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Westbourne?

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

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
