Coloured bath resurfacing in Bonchurch

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bonchurch

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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)

Repairing versus replacing in Bonchurch

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bonchurch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Bonchurch questions

Can you do the toilet too?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Bonchurch included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Bonchurch?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bonchurch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bonchurch

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Bonchurch

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Bonchurch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
