Coloured bath resurfacing in Great Oakley

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Oakley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Great Oakley

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Great Oakley: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you come to Great Oakley?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Oakley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Oakley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Oakley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
