Coloured bath resurfacing in Scotton

Honest limits

We will not take on work 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Scotton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Scotton?

We do. Technicians travel to Scotton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Scotton

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

When to call us in Scotton

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repairing versus replacing in Scotton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
