Coloured bath resurfacing near Pinhoe

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pinhoe?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pinhoe without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Pinhoe

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are you accredited?

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

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Pinhoe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pinhoe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

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