Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawcoat

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

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hawcoat

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hawcoat

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Hawcoat and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hawcoat?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Hawcoat

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
