Coloured bath resurfacing near Lower Raydon

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Raydon, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Lower Raydon

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Lower Raydon?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Lower Raydon, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Raydon

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think.
