About our coloured bath resurfacing in Alkham

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Alkham?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alkham

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Alkham. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Alkham

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Alkham?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

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