Coloured bath resurfacing for Bicton homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bicton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bicton questions

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Bicton included. Travel is included in the price.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bicton?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What we are called out for in Bicton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs 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: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Bicton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
