Coloured bath resurfacing in Horncastle

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Horncastle

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Horncastle

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

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
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Horncastle

Do you work in Horncastle?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Horncastle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Horncastle?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Landlord and trade work in Horncastle

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
