Coloured bath resurfacing in Foston, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

Repairing versus replacing in Foston

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Foston. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Foston

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Foston and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What we’re called out for in Foston

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

Common reasons people in Foston contact us are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, 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. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
