Coloured bath resurfacing in Marchington Woodlands

Coloured bath resurfacing in Marchington Woodlands without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Marchington Woodlands as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Marchington Woodlands questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Marchington Woodlands?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repair or replace in Marchington Woodlands?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
