Coloured bath resurfacing for Haythorne homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Haythorne

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Haythorne

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Landlord and trade work in Haythorne

For anyone letting property in or around Haythorne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Haythorne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we are called out for in Haythorne

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.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Haythorne

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
