About our coloured bath resurfacing in Saltwood

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Saltwood

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Saltwood

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What we’re called out for in Saltwood

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Saltwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Saltwood. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
