Coloured bath resurfacing in Grimeford Village

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Coloured bath resurfacing in Grimeford Village, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Grimeford Village

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Grimeford Village: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

Across the UK, so Grimeford Village is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
