Coloured bath resurfacing in Lawnswood

Lawnswood questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Are there extra charges for Lawnswood?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

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.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lawnswood

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Lawnswood

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Lawnswood

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

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

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite

If you’re in Lawnswood and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Lawnswood

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LS16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
