Coloured bath resurfacing near Gamblesby

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gamblesby

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gamblesby

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. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Gamblesby

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Gamblesby

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Gamblesby

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Gamblesby?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
