Coloured bath resurfacing in Chillington

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chillington?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Chillington

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling.

Chillington questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Chillington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chillington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Chillington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Chillington

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Chillington

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chillington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chillington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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