Coloured bath resurfacing for Sutton homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sutton as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Landlord and trade work in Sutton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sutton

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we are called out for in Sutton

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Sutton, 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.
