Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Meols

Landlord and trade work in Meols

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Meols

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Meols

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Meols: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
