Coloured bath resurfacing for Tadwick homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tadwick

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

In a village like Tadwick, some baths have been in for many years. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tadwick as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tadwick

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

In the older streets of Tadwick, around landmarks like St Mary Magdalene's Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Tadwick: your questions answered

Do you cover villages like Tadwick?

Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

I let a flat near Oldfield Park station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you cover Tadwick?

We do. Technicians travel to Tadwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. Somewhere as small as Tadwick, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tadwick

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Replacement in Tadwick means trades, travel and waste removal, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
