Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Oakley

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.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Oakley

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Oakley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Oakley?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Oakley customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Oakley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Oakley questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Oakley and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
