Coloured bath resurfacing in Elton

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Elton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Elton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Elton?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Elton

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Elton. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
