Coloured bath resurfacing near Cople

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cople

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new 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, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Cople

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your MK44 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What about the toilet?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Cople?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cople from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Cople, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Cople

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Cople

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

The process

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 and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cople, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What affects the price in Cople

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
