Coloured bath resurfacing for Higher Town homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Town

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Higher Town and across the Isles of Scilly. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

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)

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Town

Are there extra charges for Higher Town?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Town

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Town use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Town?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Higher Town

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Higher Town. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Higher Town, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
