Coloured bath resurfacing near Apse Heath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Apse Heath, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Apse Heath use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Apse Heath

Do you cover Apse Heath?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Apse Heath. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

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

What we’re called out for in Apse Heath

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

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 give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Apse Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
