Coloured bath resurfacing for Great Bricett homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Great Bricett without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Bricett. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Great Bricett

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Great Bricett: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Great Bricett?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP7 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
