Coloured bath resurfacing in Hockwold cum Wilton

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hockwold cum Wilton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Hockwold cum Wilton

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Hockwold cum Wilton

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hockwold cum Wilton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
