Coloured bath resurfacing in Buttsole

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Buttsole

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Buttsole

Do you come to Buttsole?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Buttsole from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buttsole

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Buttsole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Buttsole

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buttsole. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Buttsole

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Buttsole

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

When to call us in Buttsole

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
