Coloured bath resurfacing for Islip homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Islip

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

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Islip. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Islip

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Common questions in Islip

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Islip?

We do. We send a technician to Islip for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are there extra charges for Islip?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Islip as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Islip

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Islip?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
