Halland questions

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Halland

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most 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 is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Halland

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Halland

For anyone letting property in or around Halland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
