Coloured bath resurfacing near Marlesford

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Marlesford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths 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. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Landlord and trade work in Marlesford

For anyone letting property in or around Marlesford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marlesford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Marlesford

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Marlesford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Marlesford?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
