Coloured bath resurfacing near Langham

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Langham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

Langham questions

Do you work in Langham?

We do. We send a technician to Langham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Langham. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Langham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
