Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hemingford Abbots
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What affects the price in Hemingford Abbots
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
When to call us in Hemingford Abbots
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hemingford Abbots
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
