Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Dimmer

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dimmer

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Dimmer questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Dimmer and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in Dimmer

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dimmer as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Dimmer

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

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repair or replace in Dimmer?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
