Coloured bath resurfacing in Westhouses

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Westhouses

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. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Westhouses

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

Clients normally contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

What affects the price in Westhouses

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Westhouses. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
