How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Low Street

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Low Street

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Street

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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.

What we’re called out for in Low Street

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
