Coloured bath resurfacing in Hamstead

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hamstead without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Hamstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Hamstead?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Hamstead questions

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

The whole UK, including all of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

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?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Hamstead?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hamstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hamstead?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • 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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
