Coloured bath resurfacing in Howle Hill

Landlord and trade work in Howle Hill

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Howle Hill without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Howle Hill as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Howle Hill

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Howle Hill

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Howle Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Howle Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What we’re called out for in Howle Hill

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Howle Hill. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
