About our coloured bath resurfacing in Strone

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, 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. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Strone

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

FAQs for Strone

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Strone

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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking

When to call us in Strone

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
