Coloured bath resurfacing for Itchen Abbas homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Itchen Abbas

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Itchen Abbas. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Itchen Abbas, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we are called out for in Itchen Abbas

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Itchen Abbas

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

Landlord and trade work in Itchen Abbas

If you manage property in Itchen Abbas, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Itchen Abbas questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Are there extra charges for Itchen Abbas?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

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