Coloured bath resurfacing near Stow Hill

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Stow Hill

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair typically 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

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Common problems we fix in Stow Hill

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stow Hill

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Stow Hill

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Stow Hill?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NP20 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover Stow Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stow Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Stow Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stow Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
