Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Langworthy

Coloured bath resurfacing in Langworthy without replacing anything

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. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Langworthy and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Langworthy: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are there extra charges for Langworthy?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your M6 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Langworthy

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Langworthy. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Langworthy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Langworthy

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.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
