How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkesbury Upton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Hawkesbury Upton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkesbury Upton

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Hawkesbury Upton

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Hawkesbury Upton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

FAQs for Hawkesbury Upton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
