Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Fen Drayton

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fen Drayton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fen Drayton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, 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, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Fen Drayton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Common problems we fix in Fen Drayton

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.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fen Drayton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 will tell you honestly.
