Coloured bath resurfacing in Shillingford

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shillingford, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Shillingford

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shillingford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Shillingford: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Shillingford?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repairing versus replacing in Shillingford

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything

Common problems we fix in Shillingford

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
