Coloured bath resurfacing for Long Stratton homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Long Stratton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Long Stratton

Landlord and trade work in Long Stratton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Long Stratton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Long Stratton

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Long Stratton

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Long Stratton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Long Stratton: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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