Coloured bath resurfacing in Barton-on-the-Heath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Barton-on-the-Heath, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Barton-on-the-Heath

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

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

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.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

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

What it costs 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Barton-on-the-Heath, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Barton-on-the-Heath

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

Customers typically contact us about:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Barton-on-the-Heath customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair isn’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
