How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Brackley Gate

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Brackley Gate

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When to call us in Brackley Gate

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.

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Brackley Gate

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

What affects the price in Brackley Gate

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Brackley Gate. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
