Coloured bath resurfacing for Smallburgh homes

Common problems we fix in Smallburgh

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Coloured bath resurfacing in Smallburgh, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Smallburgh: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NR12 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What affects the price in Smallburgh

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
