Coloured bath resurfacing in Shide

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shide without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shide and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Shide

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Shide?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shide

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Shide. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Shide questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
