Need coloured bath resurfacing in Criddlestyle?

Criddlestyle: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Are there extra charges for Criddlestyle?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Criddlestyle included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Criddlestyle

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

We will not take on work 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Criddlestyle

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Criddlestyle

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Criddlestyle

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
