Coloured bath resurfacing for Sandy Down homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sandy Down

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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)

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sandy Down?

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sandy Down

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover Sandy Down?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Sandy Down and the rest of Hampshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in Sandy Down

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
