Repairing versus replacing in Eckington

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Eckington

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Eckington questions

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Eckington?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Eckington

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Eckington

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

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 typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Eckington

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
