Coloured bath resurfacing for Seaview homes

Common questions in Seaview

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Seaview

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Seaview

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.

Customers usually contact us about:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Seaview

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Seaview. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
