Coloured bath resurfacing near Earlham

Coloured bath resurfacing in Earlham without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Earlham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Advice

FAQs for Earlham

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover Earlham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Earlham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What we cannot put right

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Earlham

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Earlham

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
