Common questions in Burnt Hill

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Burnt Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Burnt Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Burnt Hill

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

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 you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnt Hill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Burnt Hill

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.

Look out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 generally cheaper.
