Coloured bath resurfacing in South Merstham

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK

Coloured bath resurfacing in South Merstham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for South Merstham. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in South Merstham

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Merstham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for South Merstham

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Surrey.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in South Merstham?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
