How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Knowle

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Knowle

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowle as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Knowle?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Knowle. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

FAQs for Knowle

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
