Coloured bath resurfacing for White Colne homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in White Colne

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

White Colne: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in White Colne

For anyone letting property in or around White Colne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
