Coloured bath resurfacing near Weston Underwood

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Weston Underwood

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

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

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Choosing a repair company

It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Weston Underwood

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Weston Underwood included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

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

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
