Coloured bath resurfacing near Raploch

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Raploch

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Raploch

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

What we cannot put right

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.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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 quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Raploch

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

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 give you a fixed price without visiting.
