Coloured bath resurfacing for Lullington homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lullington

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Lullington

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: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Lullington

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Lullington

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover Lullington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lullington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Lullington?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlord and trade work in Lullington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

The process

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. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
