Need coloured bath resurfacing in Ford?

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ford

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

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ford

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Ford questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Ford?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BN18 postcode.

Do you cover Ford?

We do. We send a technician to Ford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Ford?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
