Questions from Sparsholt

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sparsholt

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Sparsholt

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When to call us in Sparsholt

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
