10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Claughton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claughton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Claughton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Claughton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Claughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Claughton?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Claughton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
