Coloured bath resurfacing in Kingscott

Common questions in Kingscott

Will it make a mess?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kingscott

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Kingscott

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

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 a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

For a price in Kingscott, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
