When to call us in Poolfold

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Poolfold

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Poolfold as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Poolfold: your questions answered

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Poolfold?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poolfold as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
