Coloured bath resurfacing for Alton homes

Alton: your questions answered

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Alton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Alton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in Alton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Alton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Alton customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Alton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Alton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Alton

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
