Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Elmstone Hardwicke?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Elmstone Hardwicke

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Elmstone Hardwicke?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What we cannot put right

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
