Coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Wheelton

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Higher Wheelton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Higher Wheelton without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace in Higher Wheelton?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Higher Wheelton

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PR6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Higher Wheelton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
