How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rusthall

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rusthall and across Kent. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. 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. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What affects the price in Rusthall

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rusthall, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Rusthall?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Rusthall questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?
