Coloured bath resurfacing for Charltons homes

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Charltons

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

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Charltons and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TS12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Charltons

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Charltons?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
