Coloured bath resurfacing in Locksgreen

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Locksgreen

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

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

When to call us in Locksgreen

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Locksgreen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Locksgreen

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What do you need from me?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
