Coloured bath resurfacing in Hillington without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hillington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hillington?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

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

Questions from Hillington

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Hillington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Landlord and trade work in Hillington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Hillington clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hillington. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
