Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Lakeside

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What about the toilet?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lakeside

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

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. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What affects the price in Lakeside

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Lakeside. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

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.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Lakeside

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

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

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lakeside

If you manage property in Lakeside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. 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 Lakeside as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Lakeside?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
