About our coloured bath resurfacing in Melling Mount

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Melling Mount. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Melling Mount

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Melling Mount?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

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

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 Melling Mount?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Melling Mount

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Melling Mount. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
