How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Breckles

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Breckles

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Breckles

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Breckles

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Breckles

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Breckles, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
