Need coloured bath resurfacing in Longbridge?

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Longbridge

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

Longbridge: your questions answered

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Longbridge?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Longbridge?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Longbridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Longbridge

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Longbridge. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

If you are in Longbridge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
