When to call us in Gatton

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

Look out for these signs:

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

Our hiring checklist

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gatton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Gatton questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gatton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Gatton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
