About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lythe

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Lythe

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Lythe?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Lythe

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lythe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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