Coloured bath resurfacing in Sneyd Park

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sneyd Park, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after 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 a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What affects the price in Sneyd Park

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Sneyd Park

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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