Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Stony Heap

Coloured bath resurfacing in Stony Heap without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Stony Heap and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Stony Heap

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • 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 does not match a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Stony Heap

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Stony Heap?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stony Heap

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stony Heap as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.
