Coloured bath resurfacing for Whiteinch homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Whiteinch, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Whiteinch: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Whiteinch

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Whiteinch

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Common problems we fix in Whiteinch

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
