Coloured bath resurfacing near Easter Gate

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Easter Gate

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Easter Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Easter Gate

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Easter Gate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Easter Gate

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
