Coloured bath resurfacing for Longstanton homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Longstanton

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Longstanton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for Longstanton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in Longstanton

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longstanton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Longstanton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Longstanton

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
