Coloured bath resurfacing for Woodgate homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Woodgate

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. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Woodgate

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Woodgate?

We do. We send a technician to Woodgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Woodgate?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
