Coloured bath resurfacing for Frizinghall homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Frizinghall

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frizinghall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Frizinghall

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Frizinghall

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Frizinghall?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Frizinghall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Most customers in Frizinghall get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
