Coloured bath resurfacing for Westbrook homes

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Westbrook

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Westbrook get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Westbrook

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
