Coloured bath resurfacing for Russland homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Russland

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

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

Repair or replace in Russland?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Russland

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Russland questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your KW17 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I book?

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Russland included. There is no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
