Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Upnor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Upnor

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

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

How to get a price

Advice

FAQs for Lower Upnor

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Upnor?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Common problems we fix in Lower Upnor

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A suite that doesn’t 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

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Upnor. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lower Upnor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
