How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lewsey

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lewsey

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

Customers generally contact us about:

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

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, 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. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Lewsey

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LU4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Lewsey questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about the toilet?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Lewsey is covered. Prices do not change with location.
