Coloured bath resurfacing in Smannell

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Smannell

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Smannell

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

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

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Smannell

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
