About our coloured bath resurfacing in Longcroft

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Longcroft

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Longcroft

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

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Longcroft get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Longcroft

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Longcroft

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
