Coloured bath resurfacing near Woolwell

Coloured bath resurfacing in Woolwell without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Woolwell

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

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

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

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Woolwell. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Woolwell questions

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
