Coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton

Questions from Sutton

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Sutton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sutton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Sutton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, 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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
