Coloured bath resurfacing in Gailey

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gailey

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

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gailey?

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Gailey questions

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Gailey

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
