Coloured bath resurfacing in Newton

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Newton

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

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

Questions from Newton

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Newton?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

When to call us in Newton

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

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Newton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Newton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
