Coloured bath resurfacing near Glebeland

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Glebeland

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Glebeland

What affects the price in Glebeland

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Glebeland. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Glebeland questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

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 price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Glebeland?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF47 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Glebeland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
