About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shilton

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Shilton?

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Shilton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Shilton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you work in Shilton?

We do. We send a technician to Shilton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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 following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shilton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shilton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
