Coloured bath resurfacing for Beckington homes

What affects the price in Beckington

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Beckington

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Beckington

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Beckington

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Beckington

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
