Coloured bath resurfacing in Iden

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Iden, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Iden?

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Iden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

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

Landlord and trade work in Iden

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Iden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Iden questions

Do you work in Iden?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Iden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

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