Repair or replace in Buckingham?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Buckingham

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckingham

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What affects the price in Buckingham

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Buckingham. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Buckingham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Buckingham: your questions answered

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are there extra charges for Buckingham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Buckingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Buckingham and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Buckingham and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Common problems we fix in Buckingham

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
