Coloured bath resurfacing in Foxearth

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Foxearth

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Foxearth as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Foxearth

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Foxearth?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO10 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Foxearth

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we’re called out for in Foxearth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures 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.
