Coloured bath resurfacing in Wharley End

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Wharley End

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wharley End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Wharley End

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wharley End. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Wharley End

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Wharley End?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
