Coloured bath resurfacing for Hoe homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hoe

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hoe?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

How to compare quotes

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hoe

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hoe

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

What affects the price in Hoe

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hoe. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
