About our coloured bath resurfacing in Colaton Raleigh

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Colaton Raleigh

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

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

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we are called out for in Colaton Raleigh

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

Customers typically contact us about:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Colaton Raleigh. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
