How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Buckland Common

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckland Common

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckland Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in Buckland Common

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Buckland Common

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Buckland Common, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Buckland Common: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there any odour?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Buckland Common?
