Coloured bath resurfacing near Fairhaven

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fairhaven

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fairhaven as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Fairhaven

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairhaven as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fairhaven, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Fairhaven

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When to call us in Fairhaven

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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