What a repair cannot fix

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Plaitford without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Plaitford and across Wiltshire. 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:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plaitford

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Plaitford

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Common problems we fix in Plaitford

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • 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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Plaitford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
