Need coloured bath resurfacing in Coleford?

Coleford: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Coleford

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Coleford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Coleford. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coleford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Coleford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Coleford

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Coleford

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
