Coloured bath resurfacing near Howwood

Coloured bath resurfacing in Howwood without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Howwood

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

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What do you need from me?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Howwood

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Howwood

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

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Howwood

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Howwood. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price.
