Coloured bath resurfacing near Folly Gate

Honest limits

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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Folly Gate

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Folly Gate

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

10 questions to ask before booking

Folly Gate questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Folly Gate.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire suite

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
