Coloured bath resurfacing in Hints without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Hints questions

Can you do the toilet too?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Hints

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

How to compare quotes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

How easy the damage is to reach
What kind of damage it is
Doing more than one item at once
The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A photo taken from further back
Where you are, by postcode
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hints

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

The room is protected and ventilated.
We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
The surface is prepared and primed.
We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

Have a window or extractor fan available
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
