Coloured bath resurfacing near Sessay

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sessay

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Sessay

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sessay as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Sessay

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Sessay

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.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
