Coloured bath resurfacing in Knotting Green

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Knotting Green

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Knotting Green and across Bedford Borough. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Knotting Green

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Knotting Green

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Knotting Green?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK44 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Repair or replace in Knotting Green?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
