Coloured bath resurfacing near Northway

Coloured bath resurfacing in Northway, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Northway questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Northway?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Northway included. Travel is included in the price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northway

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northway use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Northway

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Northway. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Northway, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
