Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Knighton, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Knighton

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

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Repairing versus replacing in Knighton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What affects the price in Knighton

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knighton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Knighton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
