Coloured bath resurfacing in Greenlaw

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Greenlaw

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Greenlaw. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Greenlaw

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Greenlaw

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Questions from Greenlaw

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Greenlaw is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Greenlaw?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down 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. Next we degrease everything and fix 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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
