Coloured bath resurfacing near Taddington

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Taddington?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Taddington

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally 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, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Taddington

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Taddington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Taddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SK17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Taddington?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
