Coloured bath resurfacing in Stanmore

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Stanmore

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Stanmore

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stanmore.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Stanmore?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stanmore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Stanmore?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
