Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bartley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bartley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Bartley

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Bartley?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Bartley clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Bartley

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bartley. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
