DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hailey

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Hailey

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in Hailey

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.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Common problems we fix in Hailey

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
