Coloured bath resurfacing for Ladmanlow homes

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ladmanlow

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Ladmanlow

Replacing a coloured suite involves 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Ladmanlow

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Ladmanlow

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
