Coloured bath resurfacing for Flagg homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Flagg without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Flagg

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Flagg

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

What we’re called out for in Flagg

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Repair or replace in Flagg?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
