Coloured bath resurfacing for Wisbech homes

Wisbech: your questions answered

Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Wisbech?

In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

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

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Wisbech

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Most of the coloured suites we see in a town like Wisbech are in family bathrooms that get daily use, so chips, wear and the odd crack are common. A repair or resurface avoids a refit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Around Wisbech, a new suite rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wisbech

For anyone letting property in or around Wisbech, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. For a home in Wisbech, we just need access to the room and somewhere to park. One visit is normally enough, with the coloured bath resurfacing finished the same day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Related advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Wisbech?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Wisbech Baptist Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
