Coloured bath resurfacing for Worthington homes

Repair or replace in Worthington?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Worthington

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Worthington

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Worthington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Worthington, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Worthington?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • 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

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
