Coloured bath resurfacing in Fremington

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Fremington

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fremington without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Fremington: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Fremington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Fremington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Fremington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Fremington included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What affects the price in Fremington

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fremington. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Fremington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fremington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Fremington?

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

Customers generally contact us about:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
