Coloured bath resurfacing near Lower Gresham

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Gresham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

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

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Lower Gresham?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Questions from Lower Gresham

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is there a guarantee?

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