Coloured bath resurfacing in East Lavant

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in East Lavant

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Lavant and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

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

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from East Lavant

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so East Lavant is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What about the toilet?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work in East Lavant?

We do. We send a technician to East Lavant for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in East Lavant

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
