Coloured bath resurfacing near Cosham

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cosham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Cosham questions

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Cosham?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Cosham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cosham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Cosham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Portsmouth.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cosham?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

What affects the price in Cosham

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Cosham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cosham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
