Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Horley

Coloured bath resurfacing in Horley without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Horley

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Horley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Horley?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your OX15 postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you come to Horley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Horley and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Repair or replace in Horley?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Horley

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Horley

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
