Coloured bath resurfacing near Elham

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Elham

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Elham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Elham

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Elham. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Elham

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Elham

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
