Coloured bath resurfacing in Hunsdon, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hunsdon

For anyone letting property in or around Hunsdon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d 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.

Materials we work on in Hunsdon

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Most clients in Hunsdon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Hunsdon

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • 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 does not match a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hunsdon. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Hunsdon questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repair or replace in Hunsdon?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
