Coloured bath resurfacing near Knock

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Knock

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

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

Knock: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Knock?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knock

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Knock

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

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

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Knock. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
