Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in East Ferry

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in East Ferry

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

East Ferry: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Do you cover East Ferry?

We do. We send a technician to East Ferry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including East Ferry and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for East Ferry?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
