Coloured bath resurfacing near Chettisham

Repairing versus replacing in Chettisham

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Coloured bath resurfacing in Chettisham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chettisham. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Most customers in Chettisham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chettisham

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will 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)

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

Materials we work on in Chettisham

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

Landlord and trade work in Chettisham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
