Coloured bath resurfacing in Datchet

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Datchet

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Datchet. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Datchet

Do you work in Datchet?

We do. We send a technician to Datchet for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire suite

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Datchet

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Slough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

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

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
