Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shop

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Shop?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Shop

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Shop?

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Shop

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Shop. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
