When to call us in Sutton Valence

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

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton Valence without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Sutton Valence

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sutton Valence. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 give you a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Sutton Valence

Sutton Valence questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work in Sutton Valence?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sutton Valence from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
