Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Soberton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Soberton as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Soberton

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Landlord and trade work in Soberton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Soberton

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Soberton

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair
