About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dolton

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Dolton

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Dolton included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlord and trade work in Dolton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

If you are in Dolton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Dolton?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
