Coloured bath resurfacing in Hockliffe

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hockliffe without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hockliffe. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hockliffe

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

What we’re called out for in Hockliffe

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Hockliffe?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Hockliffe

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Hockliffe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hockliffe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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