How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Egremont

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Egremont. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Egremont

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Egremont?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Egremont questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

How do I book?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Egremont. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
