Coloured bath resurfacing near Hilton

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hilton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hilton as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hilton

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Common questions in Hilton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hilton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace in Hilton?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
