Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Selsdon

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Selsdon

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Selsdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Selsdon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Selsdon

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CR2 postcode.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

Everywhere in the UK, Selsdon included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Selsdon

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
