Need coloured bath resurfacing in Cattal?

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cattal

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Cattal questions

Do you cover Cattal?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cattal. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cattal as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Cattal

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
