Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Hawley

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hawley

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Hawley

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Hawley

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Hawley?

We do. Technicians travel to Hawley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Hawley included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GU17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For a price in Hawley, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
