Need coloured bath resurfacing in Ovenden Wood?

Ovenden Wood: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

What about the toilet?

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

Are there extra charges for Ovenden Wood?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ovenden Wood

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ovenden Wood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Ovenden Wood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ovenden Wood?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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. 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, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
