Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Broughton Cross

Landlord and trade work in Broughton Cross

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Broughton Cross, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Broughton Cross

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

When can you do it?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Broughton Cross

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
