Coloured bath resurfacing for Salph End homes

What we are called out for in Salph End

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Salph End

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Salph End

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Salph End get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salph End

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salph End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Salph End customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos 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.
