Coloured bath resurfacing for Mortimer homes

Landlord and trade work in Mortimer

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mortimer use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Mortimer

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Mortimer and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Mortimer?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 Mortimer clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mortimer

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Mortimer: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
