Coloured bath resurfacing near Hildersham

Common questions in Hildersham

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

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.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hildersham

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hildersham

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
