Coloured bath resurfacing near Harcombe

Coloured bath resurfacing in Harcombe without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harcombe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harcombe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Harcombe

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Harcombe. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • 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 entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Harcombe?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Common questions in Harcombe

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Harcombe.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Harcombe included. There is no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What we are called out for in Harcombe

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
