Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Monkspath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Monkspath without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Monkspath and across Solihull. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Monkspath

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

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?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What about the toilet?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

Common problems we fix in Monkspath

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What affects the price in Monkspath

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Monkspath. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Monkspath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 without visiting.
