Coloured bath resurfacing in Gillingham

Coloured bath resurfacing in Gillingham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gillingham and across Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

What affects the price in Gillingham

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Gillingham

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gillingham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Gillingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Gillingham

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What about the toilet?

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

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR34 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Gillingham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Gillingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
