Coloured bath resurfacing in Dovecot

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dovecot, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Liverpool. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Dovecot

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

FAQs for Dovecot

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Dovecot?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Liverpool. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

When to call us in Dovecot

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Dovecot

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
