Need coloured bath resurfacing in Hougham?

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hougham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to 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 help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Hougham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Hougham

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Hougham?

We do. We send a technician to Hougham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
