How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Box Hill. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Box Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Box Hill

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Box Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

FAQs for Box Hill

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one 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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
