Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Peterborough

Our coloured bath resurfacing service in Peterborough

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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, normally until the next day.

What you will pay

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Peterborough

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What we’re called out for in Peterborough

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

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

Common questions in Peterborough

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Peterborough. Prices do not change with location.

What about the toilet?

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