Coloured bath resurfacing in Burghclere

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Burghclere without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Burghclere

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. 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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Burghclere

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Burghclere?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burghclere from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What about the toilet?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
