Common questions in Sutton

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

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

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

What happens after I send photos?

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to 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 shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Sutton contact us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Sutton

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Sutton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 repair

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
