Coloured bath resurfacing in Holbrook

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Holbrook

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Holbrook: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Holbrook?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Holbrook?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

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 does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Holbrook

For anyone letting property in or around Holbrook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
