Coloured bath resurfacing in Kingstone

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Kingstone

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What we are called out for in Kingstone

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

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

How to compare quotes

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Kingstone

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Kingstone?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingstone

If you manage property in Kingstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Kingstone

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Kingstone, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

On the day itself, there is 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, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
