Coloured bath resurfacing for Fenton homes

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fenton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fenton

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Fenton questions

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you cover the entire of Stoke-on-Trent?

The entire UK, including all of Stoke-on-Trent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key 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

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Fenton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in Fenton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Fenton

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

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
