Coloured bath resurfacing for Dousland homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dousland

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Dousland, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Dousland

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Dousland

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dousland.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Dousland?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dousland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do the toilet too?

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