Coloured bath resurfacing for Lydbrook homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lydbrook, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Lydbrook

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Lydbrook?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lydbrook and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydbrook as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lydbrook?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Clients normally contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Lydbrook?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
