Coloured bath resurfacing for Flimwell homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Flimwell

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Flimwell. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Flimwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before you book.
