Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Ratton Village

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ratton Village

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

Ratton Village: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover Ratton Village?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ratton Village from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When to call us in Ratton Village

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.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

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
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ratton Village

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Ratton Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Ratton Village

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
