About our coloured bath resurfacing in Southorpe

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

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Southorpe and across Lincolnshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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 typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Southorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Southorpe

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Southorpe

If you manage property in Southorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Southorpe

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

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.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
