The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Biggin

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You are 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: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Biggin?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Biggin

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Biggin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Biggin

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.
