Coloured bath resurfacing in Combe St Nicholas, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Combe St Nicholas

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Combe St Nicholas customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Combe St Nicholas: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
