Coloured bath resurfacing in Eaglesfield

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Eaglesfield without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. 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 look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

FAQs for Eaglesfield

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Common problems we fix in Eaglesfield

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Eaglesfield

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

What affects the price in Eaglesfield

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Eaglesfield. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Eaglesfield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
