Coloured bath resurfacing in St Mary in the Marsh

Coloured bath resurfacing in St Mary in the Marsh without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work 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. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

St Mary in the Marsh questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in St Mary in the Marsh?

We do. We send a technician to St Mary in the Marsh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

When to call us in St Mary in the Marsh

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in St Mary in the Marsh

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in St Mary in the Marsh, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in St Mary in the Marsh

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
