How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Mitton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Great Mitton

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

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 will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Great Mitton?

We do. We send a technician to Great Mitton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

What we are called out for in Great Mitton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Great Mitton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
