Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Reston

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you come to Reston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Reston and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

When we would advise against a repair

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

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. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
